🌌 Noctilucent Clouds: Electric-Blue Clouds at the Edge of Space ✨

Imagine clouds so high, they glow after sunset—shimmering like delicate blue lace at the very edge of space. These are noctilucent clouds (NLCs), Earth’s highest and most mysterious clouds, forming 80 km above the ground (10x higher than normal clouds!).

Why Do They Glow?
Space Ice: Made of meteor dust + ice crystals, they catch sunlight from below the horizon, glowing against the dark sky.

Climate Clue: Once rare, they’re now seen farther south—possibly linked to methane pollution cooling the upper atmosphere.

Where & When to See Them:
📍 Polar Regions (Best near Arctic/Antarctic summers)
📍 Mid-Latitudes (Recently spotted as far south as Utah, USA and Turkey!)
⏰ Late Night or Pre-Dawn (Look northwest 1-2 hours after sunset)

Would you stay up all night to photograph these "space clouds"? 📸

(Fun fact: They’re also called "night-shining clouds"—and might be linked to rocket exhaust!)
